Formal Languages and Automata Theory

The Formal Languages and Automata Theory course introduces the mathematical foundations of computation and language processing. It focuses on the study of formal languages, grammars, and abstract machines that recognize and generate languages.

This course covers finite automata, regular expressions, regular languages, context-free grammars, pushdown automata, Turing machines, decidability, and computational complexity. Students will understand how different computational models work and their limitations.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to analyze language structures, design automata for pattern recognition, and understand the theoretical basis of compilers, interpreters, and programming languages.
